My wife and I plan to buy our 1st home in Heath Hayes. Conveyancing solicitor already selected. The broker suggested that a survey is not appropriate as the property is just 17 years old.
At the very least you should order a Home Buyer's Report. Given the residence was constructed over a decade ago the property will not come with a warranty, so you don't want to take a risk. Where a property of this age shows no signs of defects a Home Buyer's report may be enough. The report should highlight any obvious problems and suggest further investigation if appropriate. If there are any indications of material issues obtain a comprehensive Building Survey from the beginning.
